Well just to be honest your food choices are poor to say the least. You have poor quality proteins, fats and carbs. You need a variety of high quality complete foods in the right portions. Ditch the ketchup, tilapia, and all that oatmeal. Try high qulaity proteins like grass fed beef, wild caught fish, chicken breast etc; carbs such as green veggies, fruits, sweet potatoes, and other mineral/vitamin rich carb sources. Last, add EFAs or quality fats like evoo, walnut, avacado, ect into your diet. Now, find the right portions/macros and youre dialed in.

is your diet like that because of finances or because you have no imagination? (no offense, took me years to learn to cook for myself, so I am familiar with eating the same thing several times a day)

you need to include veggies.. i personally like to simplify my life.. i get the frozen Normandy blend and seperate into smaller, single portion sizes and freeze them until needed.

Chicken breast, and fish..if talapia is what you can afford, then its better than nothing, but i would try salmon or fresh tuna (not in a can if you can help it) trout.. seabass if you can afford it. flounder, cod, halibut.. many different choices.

id also throw in some whole grain pasta and brown rice from time to time. too much oatmeal.. by the time you get to 4 months, you are never gonna want to eat oatmeal again.

cottage cheese is a good bedtime meal for me, slow digestion protein.. might wanna give that a try.
